The Story Behind the Texas Flag

In the early 1830s, many federalists in Mexico and Texas grew increasingly frustrated with the centralist Mexican government. Tensions escalated in October 1835 during the conflict in Gonzales. The Mexican government had previously provided a small cannon to the residents of Gonzales for protection against Native American attacks. However, after a Mexican soldier injured a local resident, authorities decided to retrieve the cannon for safety reasons. A small troop was dispatched to reclaim the weapon, but they were met with resistance from the settlers.

As negotiations stalled, approximately 140 Texians launched a surprise attack on the Mexican detachment led by Lieutenant Francisco de Castañeda. After a brief skirmish, Castañeda sought to negotiate with John Henry Moore, during which the Texians raised their homemade flag. Realizing he was outnumbered and outgunned, Castañeda withdrew his forces. Following this encounter, Stephen F. Austin was unanimously chosen as the leader of the Texian Volunteers, known as the Army of the People.

On October 6th, Texians in Matagorda advanced on Presidio La Bahía in Goliad. Four days later, they successfully stormed the presidio in a battle that lasted just half an hour. By November 3rd, the Texian army had secured control of the Gulf Coast, limiting Mexican communication and supply lines. While Texians patrolled the Gulf Coast, Austin moved towards Béxar to confront General Cos and his troops. Mexican forces constructed barricades throughout the town, but the Texian army initiated the Siege of Béxar. After capturing Béxar, Bowie and Fannin's advance party camped at Mission Concepción, prompting Mexican troops to engage them. Despite their efforts, the Mexican cavalry struggled against the Texians due to inadequate weaponry and difficult terrain. After three failed attacks, Ugartechea retreated. By mid-December, General Cos withdrew his troops to a mission outside of Béxar and eventually surrendered to the Texian army, agreeing to leave Texas and cease fighting.

On February 17, 1836, Santa Anna’s forces entered Texas, advancing towards Béxar. Despite harsh conditions, including cold temperatures that led to hypothermia and dysentery, the Mexican troops continued their march, often raiding and burning abandoned homes as they went. Santa Anna’s Tejano spies provided crucial information about the Texian positions and plans.
